fish tail braids

A self confessed hair idiot, I've been wearing the same Sienna Miller-inspired side bangs since high school, and regularly leave the house without brushing my hair. So you'll forgive me for only now jumping on the fish-tail braid bandwagon.

I love this tutorial from thebeautydepartment, co-founded by every girl's fashion icon, Lauren Conrad. Besides being constantly flawless, she's been setting the trend in hair braiding ever since her days on the guilty-pleasure Laguna Beach, single handedly inspiring girls around the world to french braid their side bangs. (At last, a chic way to grow out your fringe!)

My favorite styles have to be the two side braids, top left corner, for being so effortlessly cool.
